Happy Holidays

This is one of the charms I received in the swap - I love how old fashioned it looks - its really tiny too so I am pleased how the detail came out with my new camera. This charm was made by Bren at the inspirationinstitute.com

Cardinal

Two days ago Pat and I saw a bright red cardinal and his taupe wife at the end of the garden. We were very impressed by how red the cardinal was. Today the cardinals were just outside our kitchen door - picking up bits of ice to get the water from them. They were puffed up and beautiful ... but no picture ... sigh

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas ...

Charms from Saucy Sprinkles Vintage Pink and Aqua and Christmas Swap arrived this morning. WOW. Each charm is so beautiful.

I sound like a broken record but my camera is out of commission again ... Santa do you hear ... I need a new camera ... EDIT - Pictures Added - New Camera is Great
